The 13th arrondissement is in the middle of a transformation. Between the Bibliothèque Nationale de France neighbourhood continuing to grow with new buildings and cultural venues, the Butte-aux-Cailles with its cobbled streets and terraces, the Parisian Chinatown around Place d'Italie and Ivry, and the converted industrial area around the Halle Freyssinet (Station F), this arrondissement is a territory of contrasts. And it's precisely this diversity that makes it an interesting terrain for remote workers.

The 13th has one major advantage: this is where Station F stands, the world's largest startup campus. The neighbourhood's tech ecosystem has generated a whole network of workspaces (coworking spaces, community spaces) that welcome laptops with open arms. Prices remain reasonable compared to the central arrondissements. Here are our 6 addresses.

Manga Café V2

Rue Primo Levi, Bibliothèque neighbourhood. Manga Café V2 is a hybrid spot that blends bookshop, relaxation and arcade machines in a creative atmosphere. Wi-Fi is available and the atmosphere is quiet. It's an original place to work, surrounded by manga and Japanese pop culture. The energy of the place is stimulating without being overwhelming.

Recommended by Sortir à Paris. Open every day from 10:30am to 7:30pm (noon on Mondays, 2pm on Sundays). An unusual setting that will appeal to manga and pop culture fans.
